MONROEVILLE, PA - Staff from WTAE-TV and The Salvation Army took a group of deserving children on a shopping trip for winter weather clothing at the Monroeville Mall K-Mart. Items for each child included coats, hats, gloves, and boots. The children were also treated to a dinner party before-hand by the K-Mart staff.

Dancing for a Cause benefited the Watchful Shepherd Program which provides children and their families a voice against a growing, yet very hidden evil -- family violence and the abuse of children. With an easy-to-use technology, we continue to find ways to protect children, helping them build the strength they need to speak out against their fears before it's too late. www.watchful.org
